Montreux

Famous artists, musicians and writers such as Lord Byron and Mary Shelly often frequented to this beautiful lakeside location that is Montreux, in the 19th century. Other than enjoying peaceful lakeshore walks, the world famous Montreux Jazz Festival and a 13th century fortress, perhaps the most famous legend from this town is how Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" was inspired from a historical incident on this very lake in the 70s. Don't forget to snap away as this town is nestled in a sheltered part of Lake Geneva bay means you're surrounded by vineyards and against the jaw-dropping backdrop of the snow covered Alps!
